Holy Security Hole, Batman!
Pick a number between 2 and 4 and you will find the number of the weakest security tip I have ever seen on Tech Republic. Resetting a password literally only takes seconds. It will take longer to open the "Password File" than it would to reset the user. Tip #3 violates every security policy ever written for any organization. Isn't anyone doing a sanity check on Tech Republic postings?
